I love to hear the glorious sound,
On cowbell, so sweet, the notes pound,
No other instrument around,
As "Bessie" our cow can be found.
I have a fever of a hundred.
Any higher and I'd be dead.
I've got this paid inside my head.
This ailment I do truly dread.
Think I'm nuts, let me explain,
Cowbell I need to sooth my brain.
Maybe you think that I am insane.
Only a cowbell kills the pain.
You may think this poem is fiction.
It may turn into adiction.
Well, this fever's my affliction,
And the cowbell's the prescription.

Fantastic inspiration behind this - as someone else commented below, I too, thought that you lived on a farm and that this was truly a sound you enjoyed hearing;
Whilst the poem was written with a flair of humour, I did like the rhymes through it - in another poem they might have sounded forced but in this one, fit in perfectly to the theme and need of the poem.
Thanks for entering

line 7.. i think you mean 'pain' not 'paid'
Another lovely right, cleverly done.. I always struggle to find rhymes, that's why I usually stick to 2 rhyming lines, and there you go using 4! Genius!
